REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Pernatty Project - EL 6137 (Tasman 100%)

The Pernatty Project is located approximately 20km SSE of the IOCG deposit at Carrapateena, within Exploration Licence 6137 (refer Figure 1). The area was initially targeted by Tasman for its potential to host IOCG deposits due to available geophysical data, the possibility of reasonable basement depths and its proximity to Carrapateena. Importantly, Tasman’s regional geological studies identified Pernatty as lying within an interpreted prospective “corridor” containing the most commercially favourable IOCG deposits at Olympic Dam, Wirrda and the three deposits in the Carrapateena area (see Figure 1). Recently, BHP has announced the potential discovery of a major new deposit at Oak Dam West, which is also located within this interpreted corridor. There has been no previous drilling within the tenement .

Drilling Program

The drilling program at Pernatty, which had been significantly delayed due to COVID-19 border restrictions and heavy rains, commenced on 21 October 2020.

Tasman proposed to drill up to 8 targets in the Pernatty project area to test for copper sulphides at depth as detailed in Tasman’s ASX announcement dated 27 July 2020 (ASX: TAS). Drill hole locations of the seven holes drilled to the end of December 2020 are shown in Figure 2.

Precollars of four deep holes to test gravity-magnetic ± EM anomalies were completed by reverse circulation (RC) drilling to variable depths ranging from 156 to 534m in the Neoproterozoic cover rocks (refer Figure 2) depending on the amount of groundwater intersected. Drilling progress was considerably hampered by equipment issues, adverse ground conditions caused by extremely abrasive quartzite and strong groundwater in-flows as well as a COVID-19 lockdown.

RC drilling of the three shallow EM targets (refer Figure 2) in the cover was completed however nothing was visually observed in the RC chips that adequately explains the anomalies. Portions of these holes have been sampled in 5m composites and will be assayed upon completion of the program.

Diamond coring of vertical RC hole PRC006 (refer Figure 2) commenced from 408m depth (base of RC precollar) and basement rocks comprising chlorite altered granitoid (Palaeoproterozoic Donnington Granitoid Suite?) were not intersected until 935m demonstrating that the basement is significantly deeper than suggested by the gravity-magnetic modelling. Although variable chlorite alteration was present no sulphide mineralisation or brecciation was observed in the granitoid and the hole was terminated at 1014m.

Diamond coring of hole PRC005 commenced in December and resumed in early January after the Christmas break. This will be followed by diamond core drilling from the bottom of hole PRC001 in the southern area of the licence.

Lake Torrens IOCG Project – EL 6416 (Tasman 100%, Fortescue earning 51%).

Fortescue Agreement

Tasman Resources Ltd (“Tasman”) and FMG Resources Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of Fortescue Metals Group Ltd (ASX: FMG “Fortescue”) executed a Farm-in and Joint Venture Agreement (“Agreement”) over Tasman’s wholly owned Exploration Licence 6416 in June 2019 (Refer to TAS:ASX Announcement 14 June 2019).

EL6416 (refer Figure 3) hosts the Vulcan, Vulcan West and Titan iron oxide-copper-gold (“IOCG”) prospects, approximately 30km north of BHP’s Olympic Dam mine in South Australia.

==> picture [425 x 308] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3: EL6416 showing Tasman IOCG prospects.

Work carried out during the period by Fortescue

During the period Fortescue was primarily focused on commissioning a heritage survey, the preparation and submission of an EPEPR for drilling, the continued collation and analysis of newly-acquired and existing geophysical data and the reanalysis of existing drillcore. Drilling commenced at Vulcan North in December 2020.

Historical Exploration Data Review

Historic exploration activities continued during the period including evaluation of drilling, geochemical, and geophysical data. Fortescue completed relogging of all drill holes from the Titan Prospect and basement-intersecting drillholes from the Marathon South Prospect. Drill core from the Vulcan Prospect is in the process of being re-logged.

Geophysics

A continued focus has been maintained on the QAQC of existing available data which has helped ascertain which data can be continued to be used in conjunction with recent surveys. Existing data of necessary quality will be maintained and merged into the newly acquired datasets. Analysis and reinterpretation of pre-existing geophysical data including gravity, IP, seismic, and AMT surveys is ongoing. Contractors used for earlier data collection have been contacted where necessary to access missing raw data. Preliminary target generation and geophysical modelling based on these datasets commenced.

Geochemistry

==> picture [108 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

Drill Sample Assays

Fortescue conducted a geochemical statistical vectoring analysis of existing assay data to quantify the coppermineralisation potential of different areas of the Vulcan IOCG system. The results of these analyses will be compared to the HyLogger hyperspectral scanning results and iron-oxide speciation results to produce a three-dimensional vector toward prospective zones of the Vulcan IOCG system.

Spectral Analysis

Drill holes RCDD09VUD003, RCDD10VUD006, RCDD11VUD007, RCDD11VUD008 and VUD012 have been sent to the South Australia Department for Energy and Mining for the final round of HyLogger scanning of Vulcan Prospect core. Internal analysis of the previously-scanned holes (RCDD09VUD001, VUD009, VUD011, VUD014, VUD015, VUD016, VUD017) is ongoing.

Drilling

Drilling of Fortescue’s first hole (VUD0018) to further test the Vulcan North Prospect (Figure 4) commenced in midNovember 2020. The drilling methodology began with a vertical RC hole before switching to diamond drilling followed by navigational drilling prior to hitting basement. Diamond coring then continued at a low angle across the identified gravity anomaly. At the end of 2020 VUD0018 was at a depth of 1386m. Drilling of this hole ceased over the Christmas period and resumed in early January 2021.

It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by Tasman Resources Ltd (the Company) and its controlled entities (the Group) during the half-year. The interim financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report.

Financial Position

The interim financial report has been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Group has incurred a loss for the half-year ended 31 December 2020 $1,728,088 (31 December 2019: $4,426,787) and net cash outflows from operating activities of $3,096,406 (31 December 2019: $4,129,904). As at 31 December 2020 the Group had cash on hand of $6,917,955 (30 June 2020: $1,433,305) and a net working capital surplus of $3,023,767 (30 June 2020: $704,689).

On 11 March 2021, Tasman completed a placement raising $4.8 million before costs, by issuing 60 million TAS shares at $0.08 each with 1 free attaching TASOE option for every 2 new shares offered (30 million TASOE options).

The directors carefully manage discretionary expenditure in line with the Group’s cash flow forecast.

Based on the matters described above, the Directors consider the going concern basis of preparation appropriate. Accounting Policies

The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the entities in the Group and are consistent with those in the June 2020 financial report except for the adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards.

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current half-year. The new and revised Standards and amendments thereof and Interpretations do not have any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts recognised in the Group's condensed consolidated financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of Tasman Resources Limited

Report on the Interim Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial report of Tasman Resources Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Group”), which comprises the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2020, the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the Directors’ Declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report of the Group does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • i) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • iii) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Interim Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our review of the interim financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Group, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the interim financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the interim financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Page 21 of 22

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Review of the Interim Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the halfyear ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

A review of an interim financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
